Näitusel keskendub Toom pindmisele, näilisele ning pidevalt muutuvale ruumile. Teosed on inspireeritud ekraanide intensiivsetest värvidest, kõrge resolutsiooniga maastikke kujutavatest taustapiltidest, peegeldustest, valguse lainetusest ning pinnapealsetest ja pinnaalustest struktuuridest.

Kunstnik seletab: „Kohalolu ekraanireaalsuses on saamas olulisemaks ja usutavamaks kui kohalolu füüsilises ruumis. Näilisus ümbritseb reaalsust pidevalt muutuvate ja informatsioonist tulvil fragmentidena. Kujundite vahendatus, filtreeritus ja killustatus annab võimaluse lugude risoomseks hargnemiseks. Olevik vilksatab mööda pikslite vuhisedes. Pinnastruktuurid on peatatud ning kõlama jääb kummastus ja puuduolek. Ebasümmeetrilises mustris kulgemine meenutab unenägu, kus pildid vahelduvad juhuslikus rütmis ning kõik on võimalik.”

Toom focuses on the surface and its deceptive and ever-changing space. The present works are inspired by the screens: their intense colours, high resolution wallpapers depicting landscapes, reflections, undulating lights and the structures that appear above and underneath their surfaces.

Toom explains: “Presence of the screen reality is becoming more important and believable than the presence of the physical space. Reality is surrounded by semblance in the form of ever-changing fragments full of information. The mediated, filtered and fragmentary images lead to rhizome-like narratives. Our present flashes by in a haze of pixels. Surface structures have been suspended and are replaced with astonishment and absence. Floating through this asymmetric pattern is reminiscent of a dream where images transform in a random rhythm and everything is possible.”
